Bøger af Lawrence A. Clayton

With the exception of Christopher Columbus, Bartolome de las Casas is arguably the most notable figure of the Encounter Age. This book provides the most wide-ranging and concise anthology of Las Casas's writings. It contains not only excerpts from his most well-known texts, but also his largely unavailable writings on political philosophy and law.

Clayton reveals a long history of interactions between the two countries and in tracking their relations since the 19th century shows how each influenced the other, addressing not only political and economic issues but also the social and cultural factors that helped shaped relations.
